Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Bradford-On-Avon
What is diesel bug?
A growth of bacteria and fungi where water meets diesel. Tanks around Bradford-On-Avon that have stood with water in them are where it usually turns up.
Will contaminated fuel from Bradford-On-Avon always cost me money?
Not always. Fuel with a little water or another material can still have recoverable value. Sludge, tank bottoms and heavy diesel bug usually carry a charge.
Can you take fuel with AdBlue in it?
Yes. Tell us it is there and roughly how much; AdBlue is mostly water, so it reduces the recoverable fuel in a load from Bradford-On-Avon.
